Methods of Fixing Foundation Problems

How can you fix your foundation problems? Groundworks offers two main methods of fixing foundation concerns, with a variety of options that can help you permanently. 

Foundation Repair and Reinforcement

Whether you have a basement or not, there may be times where your foundation itself has sinking or settling concerns. In this situation, you may need to boost the foundation from underneath. Your local foundation repair professionals provide multiple fixes to help you boost the actual foundation itself. 

Wall Repair and Reinforcement

The second method of foundation repairs is wall repair and reinforcement. Specifically, this comes into play when you have a basement that’s having foundation concerns. That can often turn into bowed basement walls, which you may need to reinforce. Your local foundation repair professionals offer three different methods of wall repair and reinforcement in this situation. 

We get it right the first time, every time, and our solutions are built to last.

FAQs About Foundation Repair

No, DIY foundation repairs won’t fix your foundation problems. Foundation problems run much deeper than the surface, so you need specialized equipment and expertise.

Yes, foundation problems are pretty much always serious. Your home’s foundation supports every other element of the home, so without a strong, stable foundation, your home is at risk of collapse. That’s why it’s so important to fix every foundation problem as soon as you’ve uncovered it.

Yes, foundation problems are not something that you can just leave alone. When you start to see basement floor cracks and other signs of foundation issues, that means you’ve caught the problem early—which is great! But you need to address the problem to stop them from turning into even more serious issues.

Foundation repairs aren’t always covered by homeowner’s insurance, but you should contact your provider to make sure. Every Groundworks company offers affordable financing with reliable warranties, but read our guide on homeowner’s insurance for foundation repairs for more in-depth information.

Foundation Repair Is Easier Than You’d Think with an Expert 

One of the reasons many people worry about foundation repair is because they’re concerned it’ll be difficult. This is an understandable fear, but when you have the help of an expert, it’s not that scary. You can schedule your free inspection with Groundworks today and learn firsthand how important it is to have an expert along for the ride.

Our family had a great experience with Groundworks. Cody came for our initial inspection and acted as our coordinator throughout the project. He is kind, professional, and available for consultation and guidance. The construction team was efficient and friendly. This was a very stressful time for our family and I’m so glad we chose groundworks for the project – they put our minds at ease. I had full trust that they would do a good job given their lifetime guarantee, and they did not disappoint. Absolutely recommend!

I selected Ohio Basement Authority to bring my crawlspace up to my satisfaction so that I could sell my home and not pass the problem onto the next homeowner. I got the free inspection, and I was informed about what was recommended. I agreed to the recommendations and the team of Iran, Chris M and Zack K, took care of my crawlspace in a very professional matter. Iran kept me updated during the entire process and he showed genuine concern about wanting to meet my expectations. The team completed the job in a timely manner to my satisfaction and I would highly recommend Ohio Basement Authority.

Just had Willie Adames come out and fix a leak under our sink. He also replaced the plastic connectors with metal connectors to have a more secure fit. This was all done very quickly, professionally, affordably, and he was very understanding about my wife's shoe policy. Very happy with the service.

Fantastic experience from start to finish. I was able to schedule a visit to my house the next day. Shawn came out on a Saturday and was very professional and knowledgeable. I was looking to upgrade my sump pump system. He inspected my basement and gave us a very complete assessment of what they could do for us. No pressure, just the facts and he let us decide what we wanted to do with the options they had. We ended up scheduling just the sump pump, unfortunately for us, as we were moving items away from the area the work was to be done, I noticed 2 previously filled wall cracks had water seeping due to all the snow melt and rain. I was tired of worrying about water, so I texted Shawn about the possibility of adding the interior foundation drain system we had talked about. This was at 8:00pm, and Shawn took the time to send me all the info with pricing over texts and said we could add it to the job we had already scheduled, which was only 2 days away. On install day, I received a text and a phone call from Foreman Kevin when he and his install team would arrive and If I had any questions. Kevin and his 2 guys were fantastic. Very hardworking and did a great job on the install. They were timely and took the time to answer all my questions without rushing me. I couldn't be happier and will definitely be calling back for any future projects.

Coming to the realization that a house I am wanting to remodel needed extreme measures taken to repair the foundation had me quite worried and on edge until Caleb Loy, a Certified Field Inspector for AFS, helped me to clearly see the need AND the process for repair. A construction friend referred me to AFS, and AFS was quick to set me up with an inspector, Caleb Loy, the next day. Caleb explained the entire inspection and results well, and he followed up with detailed measures for repair. It’s always good to know someone hears me and responds appropriately. I would definitely recommend AFS!

I received an estimate from Mark Beamer. he was thorough and honest about the potential difficulties of leveling our garage apron. We accepted the estimate and scheduling was a few weeks out. The office staff verified the appointment date. Jason R and Jordan B arrived and were very nice. Jason explained everything they'd be doing. They were able to correct serious issues with 4 -5" drop on the driveway pad. I am very happy with these guys and this company. We'll done FSM

I have been working with Groundworks for a few years now to correct some basement issues and they continuously provide me with the best service and quality. I just had Mel, Martin, and Lalo complete a water proofing job and they were GREAT! The work is wonderful. They left the place completely clean and Mel communicated with me all through the process making sure everything would come to a smooth close. Thanks!
